A Wishful Thought: Hey everyone. :)

I'm glad about all the positive feedback I've been getting over the last chapter! However, something has been. . . Brought to my attention. This is mainly directed to readers of the manga, rather than watchers of the anime, but if you read what happened in the latest chapter of the manga (Chapter 263, to be specific) then I'm sure that you know what I'm getting to.

As you all know, this story is meant to take place IN UNIVERSE of the manga/anime, and its supposed to be seen as something like a possible arc that could take place in the storyline. And I'm sure that many of you would agree that Fairy Tail trying to break Jellal out of jail is an interesting idea indeed!

However, my question is. . . If the current events of the manga/anime contradict the main storyline of this fanfiction, does that take out the fun for you guys?

I really did have a lot planned for this fanfiction. Truly, I did. And we were just getting into the interesting part, too! And don't worry, either way, I'm finishing this fanfiction. I just want to know the opinions of my readers. ^^;;

Depending on your feedback (preferably through the reviews on this "chapter"), it'll decide what will happen in the story. Imagine this: the story is currently at a crossroads. One path leads to what I originally planned to happen in the story. The other path leads to something MUCH different than what was supposed to happen, but something that I think is equally interesting. No, its not gonna spoil anything for people that aren't at that point in the canon Fairy Tail storyline, but it's merely another path that could sort of incorporate the recent events of the manga while at the same time, being different.

Oh lord, I'm making no sense here. U_U

What I'd like all of my readers to do, is to simply answer the question that I posed above in italics. ^^;; To be fair, I'm not going to say which answer means what storyline and all, and I'm not going to say which "choice" had the greater vote over the other either. I really do just want your opinions before I continue onwards. ^^;;

Please be as honest and elaborate as you can, if it's not too much trouble! :D

Edit: Now, because I just reread the Terms of Fanfiction, I realize that I'm being a bad person for just uploading an Author's Note with no content whatsoever. SO, prepare yourselves for the first NLMG Omake! XD In which madness ensues. I'll also throw in a sneak peek of the next chapter for those who get that far. XD

Here we go!

"I-I'm not kidding, you guys! I'm dead serious! I think she's gonna... Gonna rape me or something!"

His best friends that had gathered around him shot him peculiar looks. Gray Fullbuster: The cocky, laidback, popular Gray Fullbuster had called his fellow football players for an emergency meeting at his small apartment in a high-pitched hysterical voice. The time was four-thirty in the morning. And it was times like these that Gray was thankful for such awesome friends that would go out of their way to come to him in his time of need. He'd probably never admit it, but he really did love them all like a family.

All except one.

"God, you're such a Drama Queen. Guys don't get raped. We do the raping."

Enter Natsu Dragneel: Sworn Rival of Gray. Most would describe him as a flame-headed idiot, and for some strange reason, Natsu accepted these claims with a stupid grin and open arms. He had been the last to arrive, and had already gone through a majority of the food in Gray's refrigerator.

"IS THAT A CHALLENGE! ?"

"HELL YEAH IT IS!"

"REAL MEN RAPE WOMEN."

Ah, let me introduce you to Elfman. A true idiot that has issues with proving to random people that he is a "real man." He has a tendency to throw wooden objects around until people agree with him, or they manage to knock him out. But despite his size, he's not the strongest person out there, and the latter usually occurs.

Oh, just like now. In case you missed it, Natsu just threw him out the window. Don't worry though, he'll be alright.

Probably.

"Thank God we got rid of him. That guy has some serious issues."

Here's Hibiki Laytis. Surprisingly enough, he doesn't even attend Fairy Tail Academy. Instead, he's chosen to go to the Blue Pegasus School of Modeling, much to the chagrin of his besties. Despite modeling being seen as extremely gay, Hibiki insists that he is completely straight, and his friends believe him. But because of the homosexuals that surround him at Blue Pegasus, he can act a bit... questionable. Still, he is extremely intelligent, and one of Gray's close friends whom he calls whenever he needs help.

"Women are delicate creatures, and they should be treated as such! That idiot will never get a girlfriend. And if he does, then I feel sorry for the poor girl that gets suckered into it. Why did you invite him here anyway?"

And here's Loke. Overall, most would consider him closest to Gray. Or at least, the one that Gray will consider most close to him. Though he nor Natsu will admit, everyone else can see that they're the best of friends, but Gray continues to insist that his best mate is Loke. Not that Loke minds, of course. Loke is a womanizer, but he manages to be a kind one. He hates it when people don't treat women with respect, and he usually takes on the Knight In Shining Armor personality around damsels in distress.

"Yeah, Ice-For-Brains! What's up with inviting him? You always say that you don't even like him!"

"HEY, SHUT UP FLAMEBRAIN!"

"NOT UNLESS YOU MAKE ME, ASS-SHOULDER!"

"THE HELL! ? WHAT KIND OF INSULT WAS THAT! ?"

Sensing that the argument would continue unless he did something, Hibiki stepped between the two, "C'mon, c'mon, let's focus here. I'd like to get my beauty sleep, you know?"

Loke scoffed, "Beauty sleep? Are you sure you're not gay?"

The model's eyes widened as his head turned to the man reclining on the sofa. "Excuse me! ?"

"You heard me."

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"NOT UNLESS I DO IT FIRST!"

And so, the four remaining young men in the room duked it out, wrecking havoc amidst the small apartment. But because of their distraction, none noticed when a certain blunette snuck in through the window, and tiptoed towards the Quarterback's room.

She looked around for a moment, before running to a corner as she seemed to be looking for something desperately. Her features brightened as she found what she was looking for. The large grin on her face, she inhaled the article of clothing greedily, then hugged it close to her.

"Ah, Juvia loves the smell of Gray-Sama's used underwear."

A Wishful Thought: Okay, it's official. That was the weirdest thing I've ever written. XD
Sorry for the lameness, but I don't feel very creative right now, so I hope you all don't mind. However, here's that preview I promised if you somehow managed to get through the horrible writing above! XD It's not a full preview, but rather snippets of conversation that will be featured in the next chapter. And whichever way your opinions go when you leave your review, this will probably be included. X3

"I-It's because… It's because I think I love her, okay! ?"

"Cut the crap and tell me the truth, goddammit!"

"No… You can't be serious…"

"E-Erza! W-What're you doing here! ?"

A Wishful Thought: As you can see, we're in for an eventful chapter… ;D Leave some comments, please!
